The Beatles - The Palace of the King of the Birds

An unreleased song by the Beatles. I did some editing but it’s all them playing. The song was written by Paul McCartney, who played the organ, and was soon joined by Ringo on drums, and presumably Harrison on guitar and Lennon on Fender VI bass; it has a peculiar ’Grateful Dead-esque’ feeling. Being a jam they didn’t care about mistakes, so I cut most of them (the original recording goes for longer than 14 minutes). Edit: I just realised that on Wikipedia, somebody published a page of this as a song, with duration and all. It makes me smile, as the duration (and title) was made up by me for this video, just for fun. The original was over 15 minutes long, this is an edit I made on Garage band. The title of the original track was The Castle of The King of Bird, but to be honest it could be a retcon from later, when Paul was writing music for Rupert the bear. It really teaches you to take any information from Wikipedia with a pinch of salt. Or a handful.
